About this plugin
Browsing a large project in the DeepSeek Harness file explorer can feel flat when every entry looks identical. dsh-material-file-icons brings the familiar Material Icon Theme aesthetic into the Harness sidebar, turning a wall of generic glyphs into a clear visual map of your codebase.
The plugin ships roughly 350 high-fidelity SVGs drawn from the PKief and vscode-icons projects, covering 90-plus file types and about 130 well-known folder names. Frequently seen files such as tsconfig.json, jest.config.*, and .editorconfig each receive a dedicated artwork, while directories like src, components, tests, and .github get their own icons in both open and closed variants. Technically, it injects a single stylesheet and uses a lightweight MutationObserver to tag directory rows with data attributes; all icon mapping is pure CSS, so no patching of dsh-better-sidebar is needed.
If you work inside large monorepos in DeepSeek Harness Desktop or simply love the VS Code Material Icon Theme look, this is a zero-maintenance visual upgrade: install the plugin, restart the desktop app, and your file browser immediately feels more at home.
Use Cases
- Scanning a large project file tree in DeepSeek Harness Desktop and instantly recognizing 90-plus file types via dedicated icons

Best For
